You should read the 10/10 reviews. None of them seen movie and it’s a masterpiece




So we agree that metacritic is useless.



Great.

The majority of everyone that saw it said it’s meh. Looks like we were right.

Metacritic is 5.2
Rotten tomatoes is 54%

Its very useful for gathering the trolls and making them waste their time thinking people actually use metacritic for movie reviews.

Are your collection of alters now using the “we” pronoun? Didn’t know you were part of the alphabet crew as you call it. Makes since considering you say they’re mentally ill and that definitely defines you.

No



Even on Metacritic the majority of reviews are above average.

However the site is clearly useless when the distribution is such that it is either entirely positive (46%) or negative (44%) When there is no middle ground you know that its clearly being bombarded on both sides.

Metacitic is by far the most accurate for audience score.

They literally have people reviewing the movie stating that they have not and will not see it. Seems that would essentially disqualify it no?




If you can find similar posts on other review sites I’d be happy to see them.

You mean the sites who curate and pay for positive reviews?

Translation: the site that allows for unverified reviews and has obviously been reviewed bombed is the most accurate because it fits my agenda

Nevermind any other metric like RT, CinemaScore, or IMDb they have the movie rated highly so clearly that can't be true

It’s quite the spectacle that they’ll use unverified reviews from metacritic and the unverified reviews from RT to make their argument, then turn right around and state that the verified ticket purchase data from RT is invalid because buying a ticket doesn’t mean they watched the movie. All that with a straight face.

I have serious doubts some of these guys made it past 7th grade.

Do they have people proudly admitting to reviewing a movie they haven’t seen?




That’s a pretty low bar to cross for a site to ensure people who are reviewing the movie to simply view the movie.

No way.

You literally have reviews stating it’s the greatest movie ever, I will never ever watch this movie, this movie is literally the downfall of western civilization - and they all count equally to reach the score.

Well here’s the site, I don’t see anything you’re claiming as usual but people can look and decide if there are any and if they’re enough to effect the score assuming they exist.

This is another proven false pattern with your kind. Any publication that doesn’t fit your narrative is deemed faulty.

Looks like metacritic is bought off and censoring reviews then



They deleted the review that I quoted in my post because it was the top post in the link I provided at the time.


Who knows if it is still affecting the score

Literally the first review that pops up calls the movie the downfall of western civilization and other reviews say they refuse to watch it.

Good God man at least look at what you're posting

I can verify the reviews he posted prior to him posting. I was on the site after CP3’s alt kept repeating the score, checked out about 10 reviews and they were all within that first 10. I wasn’t going to read more seeing as how they easily are not vetted and no criteria exists to basically post whatever you want, outside of a report button.

So just move the goal post and again your logic failure in this argument is undeniable.

Ok so then is it enough to disqualify the site and why do the others get a pass when we know they’re engineering scores?

Btw only example given was a different argument than was presented. By night dawn or whatever his name is of course

Also notice how anytime they reply about a review site it's only RT? Nothing about CinemaScore who's job it is to ask people fresh out of the movie theater how they felt about the movie
